Saints-Eagles Snafu, Alternative Picks Process and Multiple Response Option

The Commish has been investigating a glitch in the Eagles-Saints picks for week 5. Apparently, the computer defaulted to the Saints choice, as Ed clearly noted in his post.  He was not assigned a wrong pick for it, however, as his score had already been changed on the week 5 master picks chart. However, Omaha and Big Red did indeed pick the Eagles and their scores have been adjusted. A check  of every Eagles-Saints pick revealed that Kevin and Jo's picks had been reversed, with Kevin picking the Saints and Jo the Eagles. Sean also picked the Eagles while being assigned the Saints and his score has been adjusted as well. The investigation also found that Kirk had picked the Saints, not the Eagles and his points total has also been adjusted.

The League Office apologizes for the glitch and is working hard to make sure the program doesn't malfunction again. The Commish notes that he was in transit to Fort Myers at the time and was using an unreliable computer to assign the picks.

The correct protocol for addressing a discrepancy in individual picks is to post it on this blog and have the Commish investigate and remediate the matter. More petulant league members might make wildly inaccurate conspiracy theories which attack the integrity of the Commish.  Omaha has decided to use this blog to make his picks, which is his right. However, the correct protocol is to make the picks as a list, in the same order as the picks chart and using the teams' names, not their cities.

Regarding Brandy's suggestion to use the multiple response option on pick charts, the Commish appreciates the initiative she used to research the survey monkey site and discover that option. However, the Commish has been aware of that option and has chosen it on every picks chart he has published, so when people cannot make multiple choices from their computers, the problem would seem to be with the survey monkey site.

Below is the correct Week 5 Stats.
